With the Covid-19 pandemic causing huge economic and social damages in European regions and revealing necessary transformations to cope with secular distortions in many markets, the European Recovery Plan with its funding instruments create a window of opportunity to stimulate transformative changes particularly in lagging European regions. The paper looks at necessary preconditions for transformative changes on a regional level to create a transformative environment for European firms. Specific challenges in former coal regions are addressed to emphasize the need for place-based transformation strategies, which also consider the need to combine short-term stimulations with long-term transformative perseverance.

The City

Architects who understand the need to build enduringly are faced with the almost complete absence of international agreements with respect to a planetary ecological project. The coming environmental changes will probably occur long before the small measures that can be implemented by some building industries on a regional level have even the slightest effect. Meanwhile, the health of the planet in positive feedback. Any project that aims for a wise ecological dwelling on this planet needs to consider short-term sustainable measures in comparison with long-term enduring practices. Might schools of thoughts such as traditional architecture, Gaia theory, Earth System Science, deep ecology, eco-feminism, converge on a co-evolutionary partnership between the natural and the human?

Regional Rural Banks are functioning at regional level in different States and Union Territories of India. These banks are rendering both fundamental and modern banking services. Finance is one of the most important aspects of banking business. Without proper financial planning an enterprise is unlikely to be successful in managing money. For the proper financial planning, analysis of the financial performance is required. Hence, an attempt has been made to analyse the performance of the Assam Gramin Vikash Bank, Maharashtra Gramin Bank and Karnataka Vikash Gramin Bank in terms of short term solvency, long term solvency and profitability. It is concluded that the financial performance of the Assam Gramin Vikash Bank, Maharashtra Gramin Bank and Karnataka Vikash Gramin Bank are good.

The Impact

The author uses TIATOOL model simulations, in order to reveal the potential impact generated by the Romanian Operational Programs 2007-2013 funded projects in Bihor county, on a set of 34 socio-economic indicators, for which individual intensities and weights were estimated by the author, based on the actual numbers of projects, their scope and the amounts of money absorbed by project beneficiaries. The readers should not expect a high impact of Structural and Cohesion funds on the economy of Bihor county, on short term, because these funds, like the rest of community funds, have a very pronounced redistributive role, which means that the dimension of the necessary expenditures for the implementation of projects counterbalances its revenues dimension, the amortization of such investments being made on long term. The novelty of such research is the fact that the Community authorities (in this case the European Commission) investigate the impact of Community funds only at policy level (cohesion, regional development and employment, territorial cooperation) and only in a comparative spectrum between national and regional figures, and the Romanian authorities (the Ministry of European Funds, the Operational Programs Managing Authorities) carry out impact assessments only at national and regional level.

The article begins with a small paragraph on why it is necessary to carefully assess operational data on morbidity and mortality from coronavirus. Further, the author discusses the complex of possible geo-spatial, demographic, socio-economic, socio-cultural and political factors of unequal impact of morbidity and overmortality from COVID-19 on various social groups and territories; hypothesize about the demographic and gender consequences of the pandemic and its accompanying economic recession in the short-term and long-term period. The author comes to the conclusion that the pandemic will have minor demographic consequences or won’t have any. And despite a number of negative effects, the pandemic offers a window of opportunity for the development of gender equality.

Education Culture

A physical education instructor must have a variety of competencies, the content of which has been significantly expanded since the formation of 1469 UTCs in Ukraine, covering areas inhabited by thousands and even tens of thousands of inhabitants. In Ukraine, there were 783 instructors of physical culture of village and settlement councils, as well as united territorial communities. This highlights the need to justify and develop a standard that would define the requirements for advanced training of this category of professionals. The purpose of the study was to scientifically substantiate and develop a regional standard that contains requirements for advanced training of «Instructors of physical culture of village and settlement councils, united territorial communities». The developed regional standard of advanced training of physical education instructors of village and settlement councils, united territorial communities is designed to meet the requirements for long- term, short-term training and internships of this category of specialists, which must be taken into account and observed at the regional level. Particular attention in the standard was paid to the possible / expected knowledge and skills of students acquired during the business training of physical education instructors. Direct organizational and managerial activities in this area are carried out in the UTC by the relevant department (there are their names: families, youth and sports; education, culture, youth, sports and tourism; culture, youth and sports, etc.). The department may have a sector or a specialist in physical culture and sports. The community where the physical education instructor works should, on the basis of his report, make a decision on the expediency of introducing the results of professional development to the content of its activities on the development of physical culture and sports.

AbstractRapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or pictured scenes provides evidence for a large-capacity conceptual short-term memory (CSTM) that momentarily provides rich associated material from long-term memory, permitting rapid chunking (Potter 1993; 2009; 2012). In perception of scenes as well as language comprehension, we make use of knowledge that briefly exceeds the supposed limits of working memory.

Previous short term toxicological studies of one to two weeks duration have demonstrated that MDL 19,660 (5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,4-dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-3Hl, 2,4-triazole-3-thione), an antidepressant drug, causes a dose-related thrombocytopenia in dogs. Platelet counts started to decline after two days of dosing with 30 mg/kg/day and continued to decrease to their lowest levels by 5-7 days. The loss in platelets was primarily of the small discoid subpopulation. In vitro studies have also indicated that MDL 19,660: does not spontaneously aggregate canine platelets and has moderate antiaggregating properties by inhibiting ADP-induced aggregation. The objectives of the present investigation of MDL 19,660 were to evaluate ultrastructurally long term effects on platelet internal architecture and changes in subpopulations of platelets and megakaryocytes.Nine male and nine female beagle dogs were divided equally into three groups and were administered orally 0, 15, or 30 mg/kg/day of MDL 19,660 for three months. Compared to a control platelet range of 353,000- 452,000/μl, a doserelated thrombocytopenia reached a maximum severity of an average of 135,000/μl for the 15 mg/kg/day dogs after two weeks and 81,000/μl for the 30 mg/kg/day dogs after one week.

Objectives School-age children with and without parent-reported listening difficulties (LiD) were compared on auditory processing, language, memory, and attention abilities. The objective was to extend what is known so far in the literature about children with LiD by using multiple measures and selective novel measures across the above areas. Design Twenty-six children who were reported by their parents as having LiD and 26 age-matched typically developing children completed clinical tests of auditory processing and multiple measures of language, attention, and memory. All children had normal-range pure-tone hearing thresholds bilaterally. Group differences were examined. Results In addition to significantly poorer speech-perception-in-noise scores, children with LiD had reduced speed and accuracy of word retrieval from long-term memory, poorer short-term memory, sentence recall, and inferencing ability. Statistically significant group differences were of moderate effect size; however, standard test scores of children with LiD were not clinically poor. No statistically significant group differences were observed in attention, working memory capacity, vocabulary, and nonverbal IQ. Conclusions Mild signal-to-noise ratio loss, as reflected by the group mean of children with LiD, supported the children's functional listening problems. In addition, children's relative weakness in select areas of language performance, short-term memory, and long-term memory lexical retrieval speed and accuracy added to previous research on evidence-based areas that need to be evaluated in children with LiD who almost always have heterogenous profiles. Importantly, the functional difficulties faced by children with LiD in relation to their test results indicated, to some extent, that commonly used assessments may not be adequately capturing the children's listening challenges.
